The Expendables

The Expendables is an American series of ensemble action comedy films written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and originally created by David Callaham. The film series itself was created to pay homage to the blockbuster action films of the 1980s and 90s and also pays gratitude to the action stars of those decades, as well as more recent stars in action. The series consists of three films: The Expendables (2010), The Expendables 2 (2012) and The Expendables 3 (2014). The series has received mixed critical reception in regards to plots and dialogue between the characters; however, many critics praised the use of humor and action scenes. The series has been a massive box office success.
